Mommy Makeover in Reading, PA

Since the Mommy Makeover can be completely customized, you can choose which procedures will be best for you. Many women who desire a Mommy Makeover have already identified their areas of concern, which helps them choose which procedures they need. If you would like to improve your body shape, but are not sure which procedures you need, Dr. Schlechter can help you determine which combination of procedures will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

There are several advantages of getting a Mommy Makeover instead of doing each procedure separately. First, while it may be more expensive initially, combining the procedures will be less expensive overall because you will not have to pay for surgical fees, anesthesia, etc. for multiple procedures. We offer financing options to make the initial cost more affordable for you. Second, you will only have to go through recovery once. Third, you will not have to wait for each procedure to be performed until you can enjoy your complete results. The Mommy Makeover performs the procedures all together so that you can appreciate your new body and newfound confidence all at once. Dr. Schlechter will determine the number of procedures that can safely be performed at one time.

Patients may undergo IV sedation or general anesthesia for the Mommy Makeover procedure.

Patients should prepare carefully before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. As there will be a lengthy recovery process, childcare should be prearranged as well as assistance for you during recovery. You must be free of serious illnesses and should inform Dr. Schlechter of any health conditions you have and medications you are taking. You should also wait at least six months after childbirth to undergo a Mommy Makeover so that your body can recover from the previous ordeal. Because future pregnancies and nursing will likely compromise the results, it is best to wait to undergo your Mommy Makeover until you have finished having children.

After your Mommy Makeover, the treated areas may be bandaged or wrapped. You may be provided with compression garments to minimize swelling and shape your body during the healing process. Discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common during the first few weeks. Oral pain medications can alleviate discomfort, and swelling and bruising will subside within two to six weeks. You should plan to take one to two weeks off of work and avoid strenuous exercise for about six weeks after your procedure.

The results of a Mommy Makeover procedure are designed to be long lasting. While some amount of breast sagging will occur over time, breast implants are long-lasting devices that can enhance your body shape for many years. Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery permanently remove fat from the body. To maintain your newly improved figure, adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid future pregnancies and weight gain.

The cost of your Mommy Makeover will depend on your specific anatomy and surgery. Please see our Plastic Surgery Procedure Pricing Guide for more information.
